As promised (although a little later than expected), here is part two of Tracey and Steven’s beautiful Brisbane wedding. We were really thrilled to be a part of their big day and we sincerely wish them loads of happiness and a wonderful, wonderful future together. MW
From the moment I arrived at the hilltop homestead at the back of Lennox Head, I knew I was in for a fun afternoon. This was Kaila & Danny’s engagement session and their property certainly had no shortage of picturesque spots to shoot in. The guys were so easy-going that it really didn’t feel like work… it was more like having a casual stroll with friends around an amazing piece of land. Some people are just more open to certain things than others and when I asked the guys if they minded laying in the grass, Kaila replied “The cow dung is dry… it’ll dust off easy”. From this point on I knew I was working with a couple that were willing to go the extra mile for the sake of a great image. I can’t wait for the wedding in September
If you are wondering what Danny is pointing at in one of the images below, they were spotting shapes in the clouds, almost oblivious to the fact that we were in the middle of a shoot. For me, it was like being a fly on the wall and witnessing what I imagine would be a slice of life when the cameras aren’t around. As a photographer, it was a really lovely moment.
One great thing about moving to a new studio is… well, we have a new studio, yay! The downside is that moving necessarily entails chaos and, with all good intentions we are running a little behind with the actual work side of things.
But, finally we have unpacked our last box and Rich has all the computers up and running again and so, we are really excited to bring you the first part of Tracey and Steven’s delicious Brisbane Wedding. This is our first ever two part blog, there was just so much we wanted to share with this wedding.
Tracey and Steven are awesome. We know it, everyone at the wedding knew it and we sincerely wish them both the most amazing future together. Here’s Part One – our apologies for the delay.
I love being a photographer! One of the things I like most, besides the art and craft, is the camaraderie among fellow photographers. Essentially we are all competitors, but you would never guess it. We socialise with one another, we educate one another, we bounce ideas off one another and when one of us needs a hand, there is generally a number of colleagues eager and willing to step up and help out. Such was the case with Rachel and Chris’ wedding.
I received a call a couple of weeks ago from one such photographer in need. Dan from Sol Photography had called looking for someone to take on one of their weddings as his wife Bec had just injured her back and was laid up with a herniated disk… OUCH!! I had another job booked in Lismore which was due to start an hour after this Evans Head wedding was to finish (which for the non-local readers is about a 50 minute drive), but I was more than happy to help out provided everyone was aware of the schedule. Everything was cleared with the bride and groom and so Saturday morning I was off to shoot their wedding.
Rachel and Chris are a great couple and their wedding had it all… rain, tears, laughter, umbrellas, more rain and even a spot of jousting! As fate would have it, the Lismore job was postponed due to illness which freed me up to stay a little longer at the wedding. Saturday was filled with scattered showers and one short torrential downpour… which just happened to occur right at the scheduled ceremony time. The couple decided to wait it out and the delayed ceremony was simply beautiful. Below is just a small sample of what was truly a gorgeous wedding.
Rachel and Chris, I am so pleased I got to spend your special day with you, and Bec, I hope you are back on your feet in no time.

Carly and Coady. They just sound like they should be together don’t they? We love engagement shoots, it’s such a nice way to get to know our clients. We were lucky enough to be invited out to Carly and Coady’s place for this shoot and honestly, if you can combine a great couple and a spectacular location half the work is done.
This time I’m not going to even bother apologising for being so long between blog posts, I’m just going to leave you to drink in the beauty of their young love. We can’t wait until the wedding guys. Hope you love the images as much as we do.
